Chapter 0973: President Zaro, Hall of a Thousand Seats, Dragon Sacrifice Plan
"President Thurrow, if you give the order, I will do it. Zaro smiled.
President Thurrow said: "This woman is so beautiful that I will divorce and marry her." This man, we agreed to his terms, and then killed him. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any comments?"
"President, we don't know how to harness dragons. A giant merchant said.
"With the dragon girl as my wife, why don't we worry about controlling the dragon?" said Thurrow.
"I agree with the President's decision, as long as we have dragons, the royal family and the Tourmaline Brotherhood, and the Temple of Immortality, we need no more fear. ”
"Yes, it was raided two thousand years ago, and it was a member of the royal family who did it. Now it's our turn to fight back. A giant businessman laughed.
Zaro smiled, "Since the adults have agreed, then I'll do it and kill Will first." ”
"Do it, Zaro, and let's see how agile you are. Thurrow said with a smile.
Zaro said to Will and Daenerys: "Lord Will, Mrs. Xiuwen, we, President Thur, have agreed to sell dragons, and all the thirteen giants have approved the conditions you offered. ”
Zaro held out his hand to Will, "It's done, Lord Will." ”
As soon as Will reached for it, the Greats would see Zaro's knife stabbed into Will's heart.
They are full of anticipation and smile gracefully!
Will stretched out his hand, but did not shake Zaro's hand, the little golden dragon on his shoulder flew to Will's outstretched right palm, and Will came to President Thurrow: "Elder, this little golden dragon has a secret, let me tell you personally." ”
Will speaks the language of the Quells.
Thureau was shocked, and the rest of the giants were shocked.
Thuro shouted: "Samurai, samurai, samurai!"
All the samurai stood still, looking at President Thurau, motionless.
"Zaro, is that you?" said Thuroh, stunned.
Zaro smiled, "President Thuro, do you want to test the power of Long Yan?"
Thurro's sweat flowed out, and his head was full of words: "Zaro, you betrayed the Thirteen Giants?"
"I just want you to give me the position of president, it's a very simple thing. "My lords, if you elect me as your president, I promise that you will double the number of ships, the port masks belonging to the Thirteen Giants, and the power, wealth, status, and army of all of you." ”
"Commerce belongs to us and the Tourmaline Brotherhood, and the army belongs to the royal family. Thuro said, "Zaro, you think you can deal with the royal family?"
"I can't deal with the royal family, so can the Mother of Dragons deal with the royal family of Quells?" said with a laugh.
"Mother of Dragons?"
"Yes, Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons who conquered the western and central continents of Essos. Her three-headed dragon is right above Quells, ready to turn Quells into a sea of fire. Which of you want to taste Long Yan? Stand up, and I promise to give you and your parents a good taste. Zaro smiled, graceful and polite.
The Twelve Giants looked at each other!
Will said, "President Thurrow, do you make a statement, surrender or enjoy the beauty of Long Yan?"
"Take whatever you want. Thuro said.
"Thank you!" Will politely, "Long Yan!"
The little golden dragon spewed flames and wrapped Thur's head in Long Yan, and Thur screamed, fell, rolled, kicked the table and rattled, and then remained motionless, Long Yan surrounded him and burned, and soon, the fat Thur would grow into a mass of black coal.
"Who else?" asked Will faintly.
The little golden dragon groaned softly and flew over the heads of the eleven giants.
The eleven giants turned into the ground and expressed their submission.
Zaro smiled, "Lord Will, Your Majesty Daenerys, my companions have all submitted to the Mother of Dragons. ”
Will nodded: "Let each of them send their own family heirs to the mansion of the adults, and then put the authority of the president in your hands." ”
Zaro said, "You have all heard it, please do it, my lords." ”
So, the Twelve Giants asked the guild officials to send a message to the family to send the heir to Zaro's house.
Soon, the chairmanship of the Thirteen Giants was officially handed over to Zaro through a series of complicated formalities and ceremonies. This is a scepter engraved with the crest of the founders of the Thirteen Families, blessed by the wizard with magical power, and whoever holds the authority controls the Chamber of Commerce of the Thirteen Giants.
Zaro puts the reins in Daenerys' hands.
Daenerys raised her authority and said softly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you still have a lot of doubts in your hearts. Quells must be conquered, and those who do not choose to submit will face the wrath of Long Yan. Those who follow me will continue to rule Quells. The former royal family of Quells must be destroyed, and if you want to share in the power and wealth of the destroyed royal family of Quells, kneel down and swear allegiance to me. ”
Without hesitation, Zaro immediately knelt down.
He had knelt many times and had become proficient in his movements.
The Eleven Giants looked at each other, and finally knelt down one by one, and in the name of the three gods of the sky, the earth, and the sea, and in the name of all the gods of Quells City, they wanted Daenerys Targaryen to swear allegiance.
The Thirteen Giants became the Twelve, and Zarrow became the president, and he distributed the wealth, business, ports, and merchant ships of the Thuro family on the spot, giving the Eleventh Giants the first taste of sweetness.

In the thousand-story hall, a king wearing a jade mask sits on a throne, with layers of chairs in between.
Daenerys and Will, under the recommendation of the new president of the Thirteen Giants, Zaro, brought two small dragons to meet the king. Before coming, President Zaro told Will and Daenerys that the elegant royal family would never listen to the Dothraki and would not have the patience to listen to the Westeros, so Daenerys and Will dressed in the Quells style, with Will wearing almost the same Quilles aristocratic costume as Zaro, and Daenerys wore a fluttering green satin, revealing half of her breasts, silver sandals on her feet, and a belt of black and white pearls around her waist.
Although the royal family did not control all of Quells's power, and the commercial part was divided by the Thirteen Giants and the Tourmaline Brotherhood, their military control was the strongest. Quells was close to the sea, so warships were the main military force of the royal family.
The royal family is descended from King Guquills and the Queen of the Red Heath, and they command the Civic Guard and a luxurious fleet that controls the straits that connect the different seas. Many of the trade straits of the Quiles and Sothros continents were controlled by the royal warships, and the merchant ships of the Thirteen and the Tourmaline Brotherhood had to pay high taxes to pass through these straits.
This is also a long-standing contradiction between the Thirteen Giants and the Tourmaline Brotherhood!
Quells's royal family was not the first in wealth, but it was the first in military power, and the arrogance and rules of the royal family were still the first.
In the name of the president of the Thirteen Giants, Zaro brought Daenerys and Will to the king, and had to follow the complicated etiquette of the royal family. First, Daenerys and Will and the royal family's "Temple of Memory" make a traditional sacrifice, then send a traditional tribute to the royal family's "roster keeper" for the opportunity to write the names of Mrs. Shuwen and Lord Will on the meeting roster, and finally, offer the royal gatekeeper the traditional persimmons necessary for the "door opener".
After all this, a week later, Daenerys and Will finally received two pairs of traditional blue silk slippers, which they passed on and were approved to come to the "Hall of a Thousand Seats" and be promoted to the king as dragonmen.

Chapter 0973
The king sat on a huge wooden seat high and was more than a hundred meters away from Will and Daenery. Between the king and Will's party, there are rows of wooden chairs arranged in an arc. Each wooden chair was large enough for three people to sit side by side.
The chairs are not only huge, but also strangely carved, with a bright and brilliant gilded surface inlaid with amber, agate, jade and jade, and each chair is different from the other.
The wooden chairs in a curved shape are stepped up from the marble floor, one in a circle, and finally to the high circular ceiling. The feeling that blended in with the ceiling.
The Hall of a Thousand – named after the many enormously decorated wooden chairs in the throne hall. Thousands are imaginary numbers, not real ones.
In the last row, on the high central seat, sits the king wearing a jade mask.
But Will thinks that the one who came to meet them must not be the real king.
The Kings should be the last to play, that's Will's judgment. Since the Quells royal family is so ceremonial, it will definitely not let the king appear on the throne first. But if it's a slave puppet, it's different. A slave puppet king cannot have the same etiquette as a real king.
Hypocrisy is the traditional etiquette of the Quells people. False etiquette is a vehicle for them to maintain a legacy of hypocrisy.
Will looked up, and the ceiling of the throne hall was painted with the glory of Quells.
Will and Daenerys, along with Venerable Zarrow, sat down in the farthest corners under the guidance of the Door Opener. Even the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who is respected as the Thirteen Giants, is comparable to the royal family in wealth and strength, and the influence of the people is comparable to that of the American king, but when he enters the palace of the royal family, he is deliberately suppressed by the royal family and arranged to the petition seat of the ordinary people to show the supremacy of the royal family.
Although, if the royal family's rule over Quells wants to maintain peace and prosperity, politically, it is inseparable from the cooperation of the Thirteen Giants and the Tourmaline Brotherhood!
Then, from the side doors on both sides of the main hall, under the guidance of the royal guards, a group of royal family members, both men and women, with dignified manners, took their seats on wooden chairs arranged in an arc.
The eyes of the people all looked at Zaro, Daenerys, and Will in the petition seats, but Will found that the royal family members didn't really pay attention to him and Daenerys at all, they only cared about the two-headed dragon on their shoulders.
Some members of the royal family may have gone to bed too late, or they have drunk too much today, but in short, they all look listless and lethargic. These are the "milk men" in the mouth of Dothraki.
*
"Lord Zaro, I remember that Thuro was the president of your thirteen giants, when were you elected president?" said the king slowly from the high seat.
The King's tone was muddy, and his languid tone drifted through the Thousand Seats, making Will and Daenerys feel lazy and want to sleep. And those royal family members who are obviously in an extremely bad mental state are really lethargic. Even if there are two little dragons today, it seems that there is little interest.
These royal family members are pampered, eat the best food, live in the best palaces, wear the best silks, drink the best wine, find the most beautiful women or men, and live without lacking anything but the joy of life. Looking at their expressions, Will could feel the walking dead sitting on a thousand seats.
"His Majesty, President Thurrow died of a sudden illness at a meeting, and the other giants did not dislike me, and they elected me as the new president, and I have to be sincerely afraid, hoping that in my future work, I will not disappoint everyone's hopes. ”
"Zaro, although you are not a native of Quells, your business talent is not even comparable to many of our Quells natives, I congratulate you on becoming the president of the Thirteen Giants, so, you are here today with two young people and their dragons, what do you have to petition?"
"Your Majesty, we, the Thirteen Giants, bought these two dragons for ten boats each, and after a meeting, we decided to present these two rare dragons to His Majesty. ”
The members of the royal family, who had been talking about it, suddenly fell silent. They were talking about dragons, and they were worried about dragons, but no one could imagine why Zaro would sacrifice the dragon he bought to the royal family.
This is unconscionable!
The Thirteen Giants and the Tourmaline Brotherhood have always wanted to expand their strength and continue to encroach on the power and power of the royal family step by step, but Quells was built in ruins by the ancient Quells royal family, and there are many people who are loyal to the royal family. The Thirteen Giants and the Tourmaline Brotherhood were both forces that later developed through business, and although they had ambitions, it was difficult for them to bring down the entrenched royal family.
The military power of the royal family controls many straits, and the kingdoms of the continent of Sothros also recognize this sign of the royal family.
As soon as the dragon appeared in the port of Quells, the Temple of Immortality struck, and then the Thirteen Giants struck, and the Tourmaline Brotherhood, although there was no movement yet, did not mean that they were indifferent. Perhaps, the tourmaline brothers have already prepared another means of coping.
Whoever can get the dragon will become stronger, thus upsetting the balance of power in Quilles.
The Thirteen Giants have acquired the Dragon, and that is when it is time for them to expand their power in a big way.
The royal family has also made a lot of changes and adjustments, but the royal family's actions have not yet begun, but Zaro took the initiative to come to the palace of a thousand to petition, and Zaro opened his mouth to give the dragon to His Majesty the King.
The royal family was all surprised, and even the king himself was stunned.
What's the conspiracy in this?
After a while, the king said, "Lord Zaro, your dragon is so valuable, why did you think of giving it to me when you bought it with a hundred and thirty ships?"
"You are the king of Quells, and we are all your subjects. "Your Majesty, many of the other presidents have wanted to expand their share of trade and reduce their taxes, but I, unlike all the other presidents, want to change the tension between us and the royal family. As a sign of my sincerity, I bought the dragon and presented it to His Majesty the King, and from now on, we will follow in the footsteps of the royal family and put loyalty first, as before. ”
The royal family looked at each other.
But no matter how you look at it, Lord Zaro's actions are only good for the royal family, not bad.
"Lord Zaro, I appreciate your noble qualities, then, we have accepted the dragon you have dedicated to the royal family, and in return, I would like to listen to your petition, and if it is within my power, I will do my best to satisfy you. ”
"Your Majesty, I would like you to approve the merger of the Tourmaline Brotherhood and the Thirteen Giants, Quells City, I hope there is only one business guild, which is currently our Thirteen Giants Guild. ”
